Meet Bainers, the New Birthers
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 13th at 04:46 AM |
First, let’s dispense with the bull shiitake mushrooms. Condi Rice is not the veep pick. She served President Bush for 8 years, has never been elected, and is pro-abortion. It’s not happening. Likewise, much of the fawning the left does over Rice has more to do with her carefully portrayed image as a spoiller to Rumsfeld and Cheney than to her actual, though admittedly impressive, | Read More »

I hadn’t intended to write this as a diary post originally, but at the suggestion of acat (and a little inkling I had while writing the comment as well), I am going to post it here | Read More »

Rubio. Birthers.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 24th at 11:00 AM |
The Daily Caller has the details*: Here’s how the logic works (according to World Net Daily’s Joe Kovacs): “While the Constitution does not define ‘natural-born citizen,’ there is strong evidence that the Founding Fathers understood it to mean someone born of two American citizens.” Kovacs (and he is not alone) goes on to reason that Rubio’s “eligibility is in doubt” because — though his parents | Read More »
President Obama’s Birth Certificate: Why Now?
By: Melissa Clouthier (Diary) | April 27th at 06:37 PM |
To answer any question economic, foreign policy or political regarding President Obama one must only answer one question: What is good for Obama? President Obama coughed up his birth certificate today. So, the question is: How is this good for Obama? It has been my view that the “birther” issue turned bad for President Obama some time before the latest round in the press brought | Read More »
The Media Skirts Past Sarah Palin’s Uterus and Truthers in Search of Birthers
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 25th at 07:00 AM |
There is no need to write ten thousand words to highlight what is perhaps the very best example these days of profound liberal bias in the media.

No one in the media cares to note that Andrew Sullivan is obsessed with Sarah Palin’s uterus | Read More »

Barack Obama the Birther
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 12th at 12:59 PM |
Barack Obama accusing the Chamber of Commerce of laundering foreign money and putting it into the election this year is as crazy as the Birthers demanding to see his birth certificate having convinced themselves Obama is a foreign born manchurian candidate. I largely agree with Glenn Reynolds on this. Obama is raising the specter of foreign influence in the election so his base views the | Read More »
